1. Don't stand on the bridge and pee. There are many taboos on bridges in folk customs. There is a saying that there are two roads on the bridge and under the bridge. The road on the bridge is for people from the sun to walk, and the road under the bridge is the place where people from the underworld are dying. So standing on a bridge and peeing will provoke things under the bridge.

If the dog barks and the child keeps crying after entering, it means that there may be something unclean in the room, so don't go there. Folklore says that dogs and children can see things we cannot see.
4.

Seven things are seven evils.
5. When you go out, if the dog at home that is close to you barks loudly, pulls the corner of your clothes and won't let you go, shows an abnormal phenomenon, or has been following you and refuses to go home, then you'd better not go out today. People have to admire the dog's prophetic spirituality. It is very likely that he had a premonition that something was going to happen to you and warned you.
6. When staying in a hotel on a business trip away, smoke a cigarette first after entering the room. Non-smokers can hit the lighter a few times and close the door first for a meeting before closing it. This is to tell you something that there are guests tonight.
7. Wash the dishes and chopsticks after dinner, and don't put them in the sink until the next morning.
